Chapter 981 (Page 1/2)

Originally, she was planning to ask her husband to go and pick up their daughter, but then she thought again that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so it would be better not to bother, as she would have to go back to the city to celebrate the New Year on the 28th or 29th anyway.

Although the plaster on her leg had been removed and the doctor said the fracture had healed, for some reason, her ankle joint would swell and ache unbearably whenever she walked a few more steps.

The pain made her wonder if she had bone cancer, and her heart felt so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

"Qingyan, are you planning to send Yichen to the city to study after the New Year?" Xiao Ya suddenly asked.

"Well, Yi Chen wants to stay, but Jingjing disagrees. But the school has already found a place for him, so she has to agree even if she doesn't agree." Huo Qingyan replied.

Xiao Ya then asked, "Is your wife looking for a salesperson in the store?"

Huo Qingyan smiled slightly and said, "My mother-in-law invested 4,000 yuan in the store. She's worried Jingjing might lose the money, so she's keeping an eye on it personally."

At this time, Huo Junshan interrupted and said, "Your mother-in-law has been helping your wife run the store. Don't your brother-in-law and his wife have any objections?"

Huo Qingyan frowned slightly, a helpless look on his face, and said softly, "They must be dissatisfied. I just don't know how my mother-in-law comforted my eldest brother and his wife."

Xiao Ya sighed softly and said earnestly, "Qingyan, your mother-in-law has had a hard time. She's already retired, but she still has to help your wife look after the store."

Huo Qingyan nodded in agreement, "Well, my mother-in-law's life is indeed not easy, but she loves my wife and only cares about her own good."

Xiao Ya continued, "It's so cold, it must be freezing cold to be guarding the store. Older women are more afraid of the cold. Qingyan, you have to be nicer to your mother-in-law."

Huo Qingyan nodded quickly, "I know it's a blessing to have my mother-in-law's help, and I should really thank my mother-in-law.

It’s a pity that my eldest sister-in-law doesn’t recognize her biological parents, otherwise my brother would also have a father-in-law and a mother-in-law.

If the eldest sister-in-law recognized her family, Mrs. Qiao would probably come to help her."

When Huo Junshan heard this, his face darkened and he said sternly, "Huo Qingyan, what nonsense are you talking about?

Your sister-in-law naturally has her reasons for not recognizing the Qiao family, and even if Xiaoman doesn't have her own family, she is living a very happy life now.

Don't think that just because your mother-in-law helps your wife, you will be happier than your eldest brother and his wife. You can't even imagine the life they lead."

When Huo Qingyan heard what his father meant, he immediately felt uncomfortable.

Isn't it obvious that he is not as good as his elder brother, and his wife is not as good as his elder brother's wife? Moreover, he also says that his elder brother and sister-in-law live a happier life than them.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Jingjing and I have just achieved a comfortable life, and my elder brother and his wife have both achieved a wealthy life. They are much happier than Jingjing and I."

Although Huo Qingyan felt a little uncomfortable, he still followed his father's words and said, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law have so much money that they use bird's nest to rinse their mouths. Any piece of clothing on my sister-in-law costs hundreds of yuan. My monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan..."

"Okay, stop being jealous. Your elder brother and his wife can live a good life because they are capable. Besides, you and Xiao Song are living a good life too.

They are so much better than your fourth uncle and your younger uncle's children."

Huo Qingyan thought about it and it made sense. His monthly salary was over a hundred yuan, which was higher than that of his fourth uncle and his family. Compared with their children, it was much higher.

Besides, his wife now runs a clothing store, and when business is particularly good, she can earn his monthly salary in a day.
